In 1874 he offered to build for that town a
market house and public hall without charge,

And the ladies do it so gracefully and
coquettishly that you cannot be cross

does not prevent them from having a pi-

not always to the delight of their neigh

that he should. McEnery has finally
been smoked out and forced to make this
public declaration and pledge:
pledge you here tonight that not only in

state OF Louisiana, will see an honest and
fair election; that will see that every vote
is counted as deposited. and thar no substi-

to protect the freedom and purity of the
